INICIAR SESIÓNA Kingdom of Our OwnRowan's POV“Your Majesty, your son has escaped again!”I looked up from the breakfast table. “What do you mean, escaped?” The young guard standing before me looked ready to faint. “He crawled out of the nursery, Your Majesty.”I stared at him. “My son is barely old enough to walk!” “Yes, Your Majesty. That's why we don't understand how he reached the garden.”From across the table, Kael burst into laughter. I turned toward him. “Don't you dare laugh.” He covered his mouth, but his shoulders continued shaking. “I'm sorry, my love. I just—” “Find it funny?” “No. I find it impressive.” I grabbed a napkin and threw it at him. “Go and find your son.”Kael stood immediately. “Yes, Guardian.”“And don't call me that when you're in trouble!”His laughter followed him out of the room.I shook my head, trying not to smile. Three years ago, I had never imagined I would have a morning like this. Back then, I was an Omega who had been rejected by the man I loved. My own pack
When the War EndsRowan's POV“Why did you ask to see me?”Damon sat behind the prison bars, his wrists chained. He looked thinner than I remembered, and the confidence he once carried like a crown was gone. For a moment, neither of us spoke. Then he looked at me. “Because I wanted to apologize.” I almost laughed.“After all these years, that's what you wanted to tell me?” “I know an apology won't fix anything.” “No, Damon. It won't.”He lowered his head. “I betrayed you. I humiliated you in front of our pack, chose your brother over you, and let you believe you were the problem. When you left, I told myself I had made the right choice because admitting the truth would have meant facing what kind of man I was.”I folded my arms. “And when you discovered I was carrying a child?” His eyes filled with regret. “I thought I could still claim a place in your life. I told myself I could make things right if you came back.”“You wanted me back because you regretted losing me. Not because you
The Final CovenantRowan's POV“Your Majesty, the seven kingdoms are demanding an answer.”Orion placed a stack of letters on the table.I glanced at them while feeding my son. “An answer to what?” “To the future of the covenant. Some kingdoms want it destroyed. Others want your son declared the rightful king.”I stopped feeding him. “Of course they do.”Kael stood beside the window, reading another letter. “They're afraid of what happens when the old order disappears.”“Then we need to show them there's nothing to fear.”Orion shook his head. “You cannot satisfy everyone, Rowan. Some rulers have spent their entire lives believing the covenant protects their power.”“Then they need to learn that protecting their power was never its purpose.”My son finished his milk and grabbed my finger.I smiled at him. “You agree with me, don't you?” He answered with a happy sound.Kael laughed. “Your son has excellent judgment.”“Unlike his father?”“Which one?”I threw a cushion at him. He caught
The Fall of the False KingRowan's POV“NO!”Aurelian's scream shook the chamber. The First King's Door burst open, sending a wave of black energy toward us. Kael pulled me behind him, shielding me and our son with his body.The blast struck the wall. Stone shattered.But we remained standing. I looked at my son. The silver rings had disappeared, leaving seven tiny stars glowing above his birthmark. “Are you hurt?” I whispered. He shook his head. Then he pointed toward the open doorway. Aurelian stood on the other side.For the first time since his return, the ancient king looked afraid. The black veins covering his face were fading. His silver crown had vanished, and the power that once surrounded him was breaking apart.“You have no idea what you've done,” he growled. I stepped out from behind Kael.“I returned what you stole.” “You destroyed the covenant!” “No,” I answered. “My son refused your crown. The covenant belongs to no king.”Aurelian charged. Kael raised his sword, but th
The Last GuardianRowan's POV“Release my father!”My shout echoed across the forest, but Ryan only pressed his blade closer to Orion's throat. “Put down the crown, Rowan.”I tightened my hold on my son. “You know I won't surrender him.” “Then your father dies.”Ryan looked different from the man who had once hidden behind Aurelian's promises. Black veins covered half his face, and his eyes had turned an unnatural silver. Whatever power Aurelian had given him was changing him. Beside Ryan stood the ancient king himself, watching us with the patience of someone who believed the ending had already been written.Kael stepped closer. “Let Orion go, Ryan. Your quarrel is with me.” Ryan laughed. “You're still pretending this is about the Northern Kingdom? Aurelian has promised me something greater than your throne.”“And what happens when he no longer needs you?” I asked.Ryan's smile faded. I continued before he could answer. “He has already used you to open doors, threaten kingdoms, and
The Child Who ChoseRowan's POV“THE ONE WHO CAN OPEN IT IS YOUR SON.”Lyra's words followed me as the chamber collapsed.“Kael!”He caught my waist and pulled me away from a falling pillar. A stone crashed where I had been standing seconds earlier. “Stay close!” he shouted. Across the chamber, Lyra struggled against the black chain around her throat. Aurelian stood above her, one hand raised, his silver eyes burning with fury.“You should have remained hidden,” he snarled. Lyra clawed at the chain. “You should have remained buried.”Aurelian tightened his fist. The chain crushed her against the broken pillar.I tried to run toward her, but Kael blocked me.“Rowan, look!”The seven pillars had fallen, exposing a staircase beneath the central platform. Silver light poured from the opening, and the crown at my belt began to vibrate.The same crescent mark that burned beneath my collar was shining on the steps.I understood then. The chamber wasn't merely a hiding place. It was another e
